Oh, you thought one Human Ken Doll was enough? Well, the universe thinks otherwise. New in the sweepstakes for "Most Likely to be Mistaken for a Giant Version of a Children’s Toy of an Idealized Man" is Brazilian 20-year-old Celso Santebañes. He’s dropped over 50 G’s in his quest to look like Ken, which while it goes without saying, is straight Looney Toons. Of course, at this point we’re just adding Santebañes to the pile of doll look-a-likes, the queen of them all being Valeria Lukyanova (who we profiled in our April issue). But there’s something that feels morally wrong about a 20-year-old getting plastic surgery. It’s, like, there’s no way all of that is going to hold up by the time you’re 40, dude. But that’s not even the creepiest part of this whole thing. See, there’s actually a real doll modeled after Celso, meaning that it was created to look like the man who wants to look like a doll. It’s like vanity inception.
